1. y=12.6 units

2. x=25.30 units

3. x=5.70 units, y=11.50 units

4. x=4.10 units, y=11.50 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In all cases, apply the Pythagorean relationship where the sum of the squares of the sides equals the square of the hypotenuse.

a²+b²=c² where a and b are the sides, and c is the hypotenuse

1.

In this question;

First find b, where c=5  and a is 4

a²+b²=c²

4²+b²=5²

16+b²=25

b²=25-16=9

b=√9=3 units

To get y apply the formula now where c=13 and b=3

y²+3²=13²

y²+9=169

y²=169-9=160

y=√160=12.6 units.

2.

The triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 in is a right-isosceles triangle.

In this triangle apply the sine of an angle law to get the height of the triangle where the angle is 45°

Sin 45°=opposite side length/hypotenuse length

sin 45°=h/20

h=20*sin 45°=14.10 units

Use the height to find the side length for the small triangle when now c=18 and b=14.10

a²+b²=c²

a²+14.10²=18²

a²=18²-14.10²

a²=11.20

Now x= 11.20+14.10 =25.30 units

3.

In this case first find length of x given b=4 and c=7

a²+b²=c²

x²+4²=7²

x²+16=49

x²=49-16

x²=33

x=√33 =5.70 units

Now find y using a=x=5.70 and b=6+4=10

a²+b²=c²

5.70²+10²=c²

132.49=c²

√132.49=c

11.50=c=y

y= 11.50 units

4.

First find x where b=8 and c=9

x²+8²=9²

x²=9²-8²

x²=17

x=√17 =4.10 units

Now find y where b=8, a=(4.10+4.10)=8.20 ----because you have two equal sides

a²+b²=c²

8.20²+8²=y²

131.24=y²

√131.24=y

11.50 units = y

viktelen [127]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Idk about the number line circling thing but here is the explanation.

if you see how many out of 24 cookies Angela gave, you see that she gives 16. This is equal to 16/24, which simplifies to 2/3.

Thus, Angela gives 2/3 of her cookies to her neighbor.
